Skee-Boulder + Rankings Update

Update 1.06 is finally out. It took a little longer than expected, but version 1.06 brings several improvements and tweaks, and most importantly it adds the new Skee-Boulder mode and War Rankings.

About the two main additions:

Skee-Boulder:Race head-to-head while destroying targets to earn points and be the first to reach the giant skee-ball ramp to multiply your score.

Ranked War matches:War games now grant points to match winners. Players can climb the ranking ladder by defeating opponents in online games. Stronger opponents award more points. There's 5 ranks to achieve and a new Leaderboard that stores this info. Players that do not want to have their ranks displayed or compete for points can opt-out from the options menu.

Other changes:
